                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2000


1. Basis of presentation

   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company,
   without audit. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
   financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
   recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
   position as of June 30, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows
   for the periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000.

   Basis of presentation and management's plans:

   The company's financial statements have been presented on a going concern
   basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
   liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the
   development stage and has been primarily involved in research and development
   activities. This has resulted in significant losses ($14,028,672 since
   inception) and a stockholders' deficit at June 30, 2000 of $3,130,495. The
   Company's continued existence is dependent on its ability to obtain the
   additional funding necessary to complete development of the coupon clearing
   system and successfully market the product.

   During the three months ended June 30, 2000, two shares of Series A preferred
   stock were sold resulting in gross proceeds of $500,000 which provided
   additional liquidity for the Company for current operations. The Company is
   offering for sale up to $3,500,000 of Series A preferred stock. The financial
   statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and
   classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of
   liabilities or other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company
   be unable to continue as a going concern in its present form.

2. Notes payable

   On March 1, 2000, the Company borrowed $50,000 from two individuals evidenced
   by notes payable bearing interest at 10% per annum. Interest on the notes is
   payable quarterly and the notes are due on demand anytime after April 1,
   2000. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into the
   Company's common stock at 50% of the average closing sale price of the
   Company's common stock at the time of conversion. During July 2000, the notes
   were paid in full.

   In connection with the notes payable issued in 1996, 1997 and 1998, the
   Company issued warrants to purchase the Company stock exercisable for a three
   year period. As these warrants have neared their initial expiration dates,
   the Company has extended these warrants first for 120 days and then for
   successive 90 day periods.

   For accounting purposes, the Company is treating these extensions as stock
   appreciation rights and has recorded interest expense of $959,895 in 1999
   related to the warrants which have been extended. During the quarter ended
   June 2000, the price of the Company's stock declined and therefore, the value
   assigned to the warrant extensions declined by $78,648. This combined with
   the first quarter expense of $54,844 results in a decrease in interest
   expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $23,804.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2000


3. Income taxes

   No provision for income taxes is required at June 30, 2000 because, in
   management's estimation the Company will not recognize any taxable income
   through December 31, 2000.

4. Private placements

   During November 1998, the Company commenced a private placement of common
   stock and warrants. The Company proposes to sell a minimum of 18 units and a
   maximum of 68 units at a price of $100,000 per unit which could result in
   gross proceeds to the Company of between $1,800,000 and $6,800,000 before
   deducting expenses. Each unit consists of 100,000 shares of common stock and
   warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable during the
   first year at $1.25 per share and at $1.50 per share during the second year.

   During the six months ended June 30, 2000, .5 units have been sold resulting
   in gross proceeds of $50,000. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has concluded
   this offering.

   During the three months ended June 30, 2000, two shares of Series A preferred
   stock were sold in a private placement resulting in gross proceeds of
   $500,000 which provided additional liquidity for the Company for current
   operations. $25,000 of the proceeds were received in July 2000 and have been
   reflected as stock subscriptions receivable in the financial statements. The
   sale of the two shares was part of a private offering of up to 14 shares of
   Series A preferred stock. If all 14 shares of the Series A preferred stock
   were sold this would generate gross proceeds of $3,500,000, however, there
   can be no assurance that the Company can sell any additional shares. The two
   shares of preferred stock which have been sold are convertible into 1,300,000
   shares of the Company's common stock and carry a dividend rate of 8%
   annually.

5. Subsequent events

   During July and August 2000, the Company entered into employment agreements
   with two individuals. In connection with these agreements, the Company issued
   options to purchase 189,375 shares of the Company's common stock at exercise
   prices ranging from $.25 per share to $1.00 per share, exercisable for a two
   year period.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of
operation

Overview

The Company is a development stage company engaged in the development of its
system for distributing and electronically clearing coupons, certain components
of which are patented. The Company has generated no revenue from operations and
has continually incurred losses of $14,022,180 since inception through June 30,
2000. The Company expects to incur additional losses through the end of the 2000
fiscal year.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had negative stockholders' equity of $3,124,003,
which reflects $10,898,177 of paid in capital (net of amount attributable to
treasury stock) less accumulated deficit of $14,022,180. The excess of the
accumulated deficit amount over paid in capital primarily is the result of the
amount of interest expense incurred in connection with short-term convertible
notes and debentures by the Company and its predecessor in private transactions
in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. At June 30, 2000, the Company had a working
capital deficit of $3,317,340, which is equal to the amount of $305,362 in
current assets less $3,622,702 in current liabilities on such date.

The Company plans to continue on-going development of its coupon distribution
and clearing system, to the extent permitted by available financing. The Company
will require additional funds to continue its planned development efforts and
implement its plan of operation over the next 12 months. The Company is actively
pursing several financing opportunities. Some of the financing alternatives
involve an investment directly into the Company, and others involve an
investment into a subsidiary that is created to develop and operate one of the
Company's products as a business unit. The Company is unable to provide any
assurance that such additional funds will be available on commercially viable
terms or at all. The Company may be forced to discontinue or curtail its
operations and on-going development efforts if sufficient funds do not become
available to the Company in a timely manner. Management believes that a major
capital restructuring will be required in order to attract investment capital.
The Company is continuing to pursue alternative sources of financing, however,
currently there are no capital funding transactions pending.

Through June 30, 2000, the Company remained burdened with debt obligations and a
continuing lack of working capital.

Financial Condition

The Company had $746,579 in total assets and approximately $3,870,582 in total
liabilities at June 30, 2000, as compared to $876,535 and $3,668,163 at the end
of fiscal 1999, respectively. Accounts payable and accrued expenses at the end
of fiscal year 1999 were $1,186,958 as compared to $1,338,377 at June 30, 2000.
The Company had a working capital deficit of $3,317,340 at June 30, 2000, as
compared to a working capital deficit of $2,989,244 at December 31, 1999. The
difference primarily is attributed to cash reductions of $157,478, and an
increase in accrued interest of $152,647.

Results of Operations

The Company's operational costs historically have increased or decreased
primarily due to the expansion or contraction of the Company's ongoing research
and development efforts. The Company has incurred operating expenses of
$9,023,817 since the inception of the Company's predecessor in 1992 through June
30, 2000. These expenses include $3,231,173 in research and development expenses
and $5,534,775 in general and administrative expenses. Subject to the
availability of additional funds, the Company expects its operational expenses
and costs to increase as it expands its efforts to complete the development of
its systems, products and services, and expects to commence manufacturing and
installation of its equipment. The Company also expects operational costs to
increase as it expands its marketing and promotional efforts in connection with
the introduction of its products and services.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2000, Compared To Quarter Ended June 30, 1999

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company sustained net operating losses
of $322,950, as compared to net losses of $306,557 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999. The increase in operating losses primarily was due to an increase in
general and administrative expenses, an increase in research and development, an
increase in depreciation and amortization expenses and a decrease in interest
expense.

The Company's operating expenses for 2000 increased by approximately 45% to
$326,950, as compared to operating expenses of $224,769 for the 1999 fiscal
quarter. Operating expenses consist of research and development expenses,
general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization costs and
expenses. The increase in operating expenses in 2000 was due to an increase in
general and administrative expenses by approximately $94,125 or 45% to $304,041
for the 2000 fiscal quarter, as compared to general and administrative expenses
of $209,916 for the preceding fiscal quarter. The increase in general and
administrative expenses primarily was due to the addition of Lawrence Mortimer
Executive Marketing and Sales, Michael Parsons Director of Project Management
and Technology and the addition of other marketing and programming personnel.
Depreciation and amortization costs increased by 13% to $16,738, as compared to
depreciation and amortization costs of $14,853 for the 1999 fiscal quarter. The
increase in depreciation and amortization costs primarily was due to the
purchase of additional computer equipment and production machinery.

The Company's net non-operating expenses (including non-operating interest
income and interest expense) decreased by approximately 105% to $4,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to non-operating expenses of $81,788
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to a 101%
decrease in interest expense, which represented 100% of the non-operating
expenses for 2000 and approximately 100% of the non-operating expenses for the
1999 quarter. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decrease
in value assigned to the extension of the warrant exercise period related to the
Company's debt offerings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the Company's principal requirements for capital have been to
finance the cost of research and development of its coupon selection, dispensing
and clearing systems and related technologies, and to pay for expenses
associated with securing patent protection, formulating its business strategy
and developing strategic relationships with third parties, such as Unisys
Corporation, retailers and product manufacturers. The Company has historically
financed its operations through loans and investments by directors and officers,
and the sale of equity and debt securities in private transactions in reliance
upon exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements under
federal and state securities laws.

                                       11
<PAGE>

At June 30, 2000, the Company had $3,622,702 in current liabilities, of which
$2,830,316 (including $640,229 of interest accrued thereon) was in the form of
convertible, short-term debentures issued by the Company and its predecessor in
private transactions during the 1998, 1997 and 1996 fiscal years. At June 30,
2000, the Company was in default of its obligations under the notes issued to
investors by the Company and its predecessor. A portion of the notes was
converted into shares of the Company's common stock during the 1998 and 1999
fiscal years. At June 30, 2000, notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$2,190,087 remained outstanding, as compared to notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $2,140,087 that were outstanding on December 31, 1999. The remaining
portion of the Company's current liabilities is primarily comprised of
continuing payment obligations of approximately $490,000 (at June 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999) to Unisys Corporation. The Company relies on the availability
of additional capital to satisfy all such obligations.

The Company will require additional capital to continue and complete development
of its systems, to market its products and services and to implement its
business strategies. The Company has limited access to additional sources of
equity and debt financing and it can provide no assurance that additional funds
will be available on commercially acceptable terms or in a timely manner to
enable the Company to continue its operations as expected.

The Company's cash position has declined since the end of fiscal 1999 through
June 30, 2000. At June 30, 2000, the Company had available cash of $90,847, as
compared to available cash of $248,325 at December 31, 1999. At the current
spending rate of approximately $115,000 per month, the Company expects that such
funds will be insufficient to continue operations beyond the third quarter of
2000, unless additional funds are raised.

The Company is a party to an agreement to acquire the assets of the Partnership
for Shared Marketing, Inc. for $500,000 in cash and 1,500,000 shares of common
stock, contingent upon the availability of funding. Upon consummation of this
transaction, the Company will acquire a national database containing information
on approximately 73 million households, which the Company expects to contribute
to its wholly owned subsidiary, Data Driven Marketing, Inc. Other than in
connection with the above-described transaction, the Company has no future
commitments for capital expenditures.

During quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 132,392 shares of its
common stock and received cash of $55,493. The Company also issued 2,064,202
shares of its common stock to employees for services and to a consultant for a
cashless exchange of previously issued warrants.

The Company lacks sufficient capital or revenue to continue supporting the
losses generated by its development. The Company, as it is currently structured
has made progress in becoming an attractive investment for new equity investors
players, but the Company has a long way to go to qualify for conventional bank
or venture capital financing. Additional equity capital is necessary to finance
working capital for development. Management is resolved to continue the search
for the right financing formula as long as it can quickly put the Company, or
its subsidiaries, on the path to generate positive cash flow. Due to the current
financial condition of the Company and the relative lack of liquidity in the
market for the Company's common stock, no assurance can be made that the Company

will be successful in raising any substantial amount of capital through the sale
of equity securities, or with additional bank debt on favorable terms in the
near future. Nevertheless, due to such conditions, the Company may be required
to issue common stock to pay executives, consultants and other employees, which
may have a dilutive effect on other shareholders of the Company. Failure of the
Company to acquire additional capital in the form of either debt or equity
capital will most likely impair the ability of the Company to meet its
obligations in the near or medium term. (See - Note 1 to Financial Statements).
